[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 809546, member: 325666"] ...Spent most of this relatively dry afternoon ..playing silly burgers with the Gibby ...just to see what I _might_ get away with .. Came to the conclusion it might just squeeze in mounted lower than the PF ...in front of it an roughly the height of a garden table .. at the height it currently is ..the PF just clips the top of the Gibby reducing signal on TPC (Cband) by about 0.4db ..but then once mounted the Gibby could always be turned to face west thus edge on to the PF .. I'm guessing I'll have a fairly generous view of the western arc from the Gibbys perspective ..and a portion on the Eastern arc ..but not sure it will see over the wall past about 30 East..but its possible ..I think.. ..and yes that is a Cband lnb on the Gibby ..giving about 50% transponders at 5 west ..so it sees over the wall ok .. So I'm considering a full polar mount and an 18 inch jack ...when I have saved up some pennies.. what I really need to get me started is a pole with square base I can bolt to the paving slabs ..roughly where the table is in the picture.. Who needs a patio ? I'd only fill it with building materials anyway ;) Here are some pics I took today.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
